Keeping guide

Good storage is a repair that happens before failure.

Etebu Bench treats storage as active care. The wrong drawer can turn a clean tool rusty, the wrong stack can chip a bowl, and the wrong sealed bag can trap the moisture that a material needed to release. A keeping plan is not elaborate; it is simply honest about what the object touches while it waits.

• Let damp tools dry in open air before they enter a case or drawer.
• Separate hard edges from soft surfaces with cloth, paper, cork, or empty space.
• Store weight vertically only when the object was designed to carry itself that way.
• Keep a small note of the last cleaning method so the next person does not repeat a bad experiment.
